All in One amp up to $7k

Hi, needed some advice.
Looking for an all in one amplifier- including streaming. Had earlier settled on and bought a Hegel 590 - but could not ship it to Dubai from the US, sold it to a friend of mine. 

Any recommendations? In the $5k-$7k range? At least 150w into 8 Ohms.

I had looked at Gold Note- but not completely sure. PS Audio Stellar Strata MK2 fits the bill though not sure how good it is. 

Also though I didn’t listen to the Hegel H590 I have this feeling that it would have been awesome.

@grislybutter possibly. My aspiration for high power (do I sound like a politician?) is only because I have never had a very high power amp - so am not sure what I am missing. There must be a reason that folks like Hegel make an H590 vs their owther amps. That is the only reason.

@dxbwineguy I understand it perfectly. You want that effortless sound. I am no expert but there are many threads and posts about not all watts being equal.

any views on the Devialet Expert 220 Pro with Core Infinity? I have an opportunity to get it for around #3.4k- used.

Coda has   A nice 50 watt pure class A amp lots of power 

and 3 choice of power  in the model 8 I think in a Class AB amp 

Mike at AudioArchon is very fair. On pricing and service great products  all Nelson Pass ex Engineering team from way back  made in U.S.A 10 year warranty .
